531109 Web Site For Executive Recruitment Search Firm

Web Site Development in WORDPRESS for Executive Search / Recruitment / Headhunting firm. Site must be USER FRIENDLY and easy for us to make changes to EVERY SINGLE module.

Please read all the job details before bidding. I repeat. Your bid should cover ALL THE REQUIRMENTS in the job description; I do not want to have to relist the job if I award the job to you and you increase your bid after you are notified because you failed to read all the below job details. If you have ANY questions about the job description please contact me BEFORE BIDDING for clarification.

All responses without comments and suggestions and similar website samples for this project will be disregarded. We are looking for quality and professionalism; if you can provide us with that we will reward you with the project. When this project is finished we have 3 other projects which we need to have completed very soon. 2 the same size as this job, and one very LARGE, complicated travel website that needs to be developed. We would like to establish a relationship with an excellent programmer or team for our future projects.

Please read through the information/specifications below AND VIEW THE SAMPLE WEBSITES LISTED; BEFORE you give us your bid and feedback. We are not interested in generic e-mails with huge list of work. Please only post reference websites / projects / portfolios that are relevant to this project. We are looking for a state of the art website. Please give us your suggestions on how you would build the site. We are open to suggestions as long as the end result meets or exceeds our expectations.

SITE MAP: (we may change / add to this):

Home Page - News - About Us - Practice Areas - Specialty Divisions - Search Available Positions - Why Work With Us (What sets us apart) - Career Development Tips (This will be a list of articles) - Method - Services - Featured Candidates (still not sure if we are going to add this) – Blog (MUST BE A SEPARATE LINK AND COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZALBE AND EASY TO UPDATE DAILY) - Contact Us ( with the ability to send e-mail to us directly from site ) – Apply For A Job Opening: Ability to Upload a Resume or CV and send it directly from the site to our email - Privacy Policy - Terms and Agreement – Legal Disclosures

SITE FEATURES:

1) To give the customers a feeling of a clean, classy design and a professional impression. We feel that black/silver/grey and dark yellow are good colors.

2) The site should convey a clean, crisp, modern and "classy" look. The “LESS IS MORE” concept needs to be obvious to anyone visiting the site. Every possible thing that a user may click on should be very specific and there should be a CLEAR REASON why it's on the site. I want users to come to the site and WANT to pay for our services and learn from our company. We want the site and text to draw people in, wanting more, as opposed to blast them with information.

3) Strong USER FRIENDLY Admin Console

4) IMMEDIATE ACKNOWLEGEMENT / CONFIRMATION to the applicant that their CV / Resume has been submitted. This can be online after they apply or via email.

5) Sign-Up Opt-In Email to be notified of new job postings.

6) OPT-OUT feature when new job posting email is sent.

7) List of open positions with our clients - this would be a list of jobs which are available with our clients. Clicking on a job opening title opens the detailed description and allows candidate to apply.....application comes to an email ID with the name of the position in the subject line and the Resume Attached if the applicant uploaded it. This should also have a “APPLY NOW” and “SEND THIS JOB TO A FRIEND” button below each job, along with a SHARE button below each job to share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

8) There will be a Job Database which should STORE current jobs as well as expired / deleted jobs from the site in case I want to re-activate the jobs without having to re-post it. When I reactive the job is SHOULD have the current date of reactivation. My last site showed the old date of the original posting when I reactivated it, sometimes a year later, making it appear NOT to be a current job.

10) The content should be easily managed and we should be able to change as and when we feel the need.

11) A USER FRIENDLY Content Management System is required. This must be an out-of-the box / customizable system. I've had two home-made CMS's that simply did not work and had many bugs. It ABSOULTELY MUST be user-friendly with the ability to export contacts into Excel and the ability to download resumes easily

12) Use of Wordpress Plug-Ins and Gravity Forms would be very helpful in customizing this site.

13) Database for Open Jobs, Closed Jobs which can be reactivated at any time with the CURRENT Date.

14) COLORS: My current website is black and silver and TOO DARK, and monochromatic. Since the branding colors of the company are black and silver, I'm wondering how we get around it? Add some color? Or just develop the site with a lot of whitespace, which deviates from the company colors on our letterhead, business cards, etc. If we are going to stay with black, like the yellow color on these sites:

[url removed, login to view]

I'm open to suggestions on how we can keep the brand / logo colors of black and silver without adding a lot more color. Please give me your suggestions.

SITE GOALS:

1) What does our company do? It needs to be clear to visitors of our site that hiring our executive search firm is:

a.) The most time-efficient way to find a qualified candidate for their job opening in the shortest period of time

b.) A worthwhile investment; working with an executive search firm that SPECIALIZES in Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Recruitment.

c.) Something they make a CHOICE to do because they agree that WE are set apart from the other “generalist” recruiters and they are willing to make their life easier by hiring a professional with expertise in their industry to screen resumes and candidates, create a shortlist of qualified applicants all who meet the requirements of the job requisition in the shortest period of time.

2) Administration section of website should offer secure login credentials. This task is for an experienced website designer with notable database background. This website will be maintained by the website owner, so the code should be easy to follow and well organized. Site must be MODERN and CLEAN. No stick figures, photos of puzzle pieces, chess pieces or the tired old look of most recruitment websites.

3) Ability for Administrator to Post / Edit / Delete jobs from the site

4) OUR BUSINESS: Our core business consists of Executive Search (headhunting / recruitment) research, staffing & consultant services. All in the fields of Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Medical Device and Clinical. We want to add Healthcare in the future but not at the present so the site and links MUST BE SCALABLE.

5) TARGET AUDIENCE - Our Target audience is executive management personnel and Human Resource Managers in US and Canadian biotechnology, pharmaceutical, life science, and medical device companies that need to either recruit new personnel or use temporary staffing or consultant services. They are well educated, skilled in their profession and savvy Internet users, and probably work as manager

6) PROJECTED IMAGE:

A.) We want clients to perceive our website as exclusive and professional AND YET MODERN with very Clean Lines - NOT BUSY or crowded.

B.) We want to be known for, and associated with high class services with a professional execution and interaction with our team.

C.) We believe that our customers will choose us based on our experience and expertise in the biotech, pharmaceutical arena. We want the website to prompt a call from both Applicants (Candidates) and Prospective Client Companies.

7) CLIENTS: Our ideal customers are senior management personnel at Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical or Medical Device companies that need to either recruit new personnel or use temporary staffing or consultant services.

WORK PROCESS:

1. We must receive a constant flow of information and website progress updates as you make them, that way we can give you input on what we like and what we don't like and faster get to the goal with an result we're satisfied with, and most important save you unnecessary work. We are ALWAYS available via Yahoo Messenger and Email about 14 hours per day.

3. Developer will sign a non-compete, confidentiality agreement, agreeing not to use the same features / look-feel / colors / database / layout, etc. on a similar Employment agency / Job Board / Headhunting Firm / Recruitment Agency / Executive Search Firm company website. In other words, don't CLONE the look and feel of our site for another client.

SCOPE OF DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT:

&#61607; All design is subject to unlimited revisions and new design ideas are provided till we are satisfied - Website Coding - Illustration services – we have no photos/pictures etc. - Creation of custom icon sets

&#61607; Build site from scratch - NO template websites. Must use Raw Design and Code.
